God’s promise is true, He promised never to leave us nor forsake us and this we are seeing more and more everyday. He will always find a way to save his people. I want to thank Caribbean Net News for being the democratic ears and eyes of the people across the miles who continue to bring to us all views. read more...

I write to express my disgust with the way the government in St Vincent and the Grenadines is handling the Yes Vote. I am ashamed of the fact that the Prime Minister can try such a cheap shot of offering school children $200 each at this time, just weeks before the date for the Referendum, shame on you Gonsie. read more...

Regarding the attempts by CARICOM to initiate the licensing of journalists, a most blatant attempt to dim the light of exposing bad behaviour and corruption among those in authority. The Association of Caribbean Media Workers must partner with the National Association of Black Journalists. read more...

You will please find attached a letter dated 14 October 2009 addressed to Madam Justice Ianthea Leigertwood-Octave which speaks for itself and, as of this date, has remained unanswered. Copies were forwarded for information to the Chief Justice of the Eastern Caribbean Supreme Court. read more...

It happens again, as Foxy Brown continues to blame the former NNP government for all the social and political problems within the state of Grenada. Brown is claiming that thirteen years rule of the NNP regime is responsible for the social and political problems affecting the male population. read more...

Regarding the upcoming referendum on St Vincent and the Grenadines Constitution, it appears that the ruling Unity Labour Party Government is becoming extremely desperate to secure a 'Yes' vote. This desperation can be seen by the outright bribery taking place in my homeland. read more...

I read the Vincentian on the address made by Justice Saunders on the Privy Council and the comparison he made with the University of the West Indies, etc. I need say that this comparison is far off. We are talking apples and grapes and the more Justice Saunders opens his mouth the more I believe he is a Tommy Tucker. read more...

The plight of our young male population in Carriacou and Petite Martinique is a major area of concern and must be addressed with a sense of urgency before the situation gets out of control. Over the years we have seen a progressive decline in the economic social, spiritual, academic and technical development. read more...

This morning I read in your Caribbean Net News that the Antigua and Barbuda government needs to work together for business development. Well, all I can say to that is nuts! Antigua is just about the only Island down there that cannot do anything on any wise. They just don’t have the skills to do that. read more...

As November 25 draws close, we need to stand firm and stand strong on our Vote “No” unless we can see the current market value amended to the proposed constitution. I cannot mention this enough as this will affect all of us if Government takes our land. Today you might be ULP but tomorrow... read more...

The pagan feast of Halloween is foreign to Christian tradition and has become a superstitious and empty way of imposing mindless triviality. The day has its origin in the Celtic New Year which celebrated the return of the spirits of the dead to their homes. Those who observe Halloween are celebrating death. read more...

Here on the 30th birthday of Hairouna and her children are fighting among themselves for her affections. It’s a pity and somewhat ironic that we as Vincentians will be celebrating the 30th birthday of our Motherland in such a tumultuous, polarised climate. At a time when the nation is to come together... read more...

In your issue of Caribbean Net News of October 24, 2009, you carried important information concerning the growth and development of the Dominica State College.

I am very much appalled by the deplorable condition that our brothers and sisters are living under in the Caribbean island of Haiti.

The court judgement against George Worme editor and owner of ‘Grenada Today’ newspaper in a libel suit filed by Opposition Leader Keith Mitchell, must be respected as an example for writers and journalists to clean up their dirty act, and stop the habit of writing and publishing articles that are false. read more...

I read with great interest an article written by Dr Kenneth John, historian and attorney about the Harbinger of 1979 with key players, Ralph Gonsalves, and PR Campbell who have been fighting for power ever since then... 30 years ago. Gonsalves became Prime Minister, and Campbell was forced out in his quest for power read more...

Having read an article in a local newspaper from Grenada entitled: “The government has no obligation.” I am writing in support of the contributor, attorney-at-law, Mr Anselm Clouden.

The Prime Minister of St Vincent and the Grenadines has been saying for a long time, "I, Ralph Gonsalves, remain to do the work of Maurice Bishop." However, I cannot recall hearing exactly what this work is all about. Is it the building of a National Democratic-Anti Imperialist revolution leading ultimately to socialism? read more...

I have been receiving calls from as far as Germany from people I do not even know about what is going in St Vincent; this is my homeland and I am very, very worried about the possibilities.

I write in response to the letters to Caribbean Net News by a “Linda McDowald” and by a “Marcia Wilson” respectively.

In his recent speech on constitutional reform, Ralph Gonsalves told Vincentians at Victoria Park to “follow the example of Ireland” and vote yes “for the love of country”. What he neglected to do is explain the context. He neglected to tell the whole story. He neglected to say that when the Irish people voted “No”... read more...

Thanks to your paper for bringing to us who live outside of St Vincent and the Grenadines the terrible issues confronting our blessed nation.

The amount of money being spent on the campaign for the “Yes” vote in St Vincent and the Grenadines for the proposed Constitution to be voted on come November 25, is a national disgrace; it is highway robbery and rape on the public purse. I hear figures like 11 million dollars, this is bare lunacy. read more...

In countries where there is a small percentage of middle class, the yardstick between rich and poor usually widens, and the poor people become like crabs in a barrel by fighting against each other for wealthy politicians, who don’t care about solving the social ills of poverty. In Grenada it is the opposite. read more...

Again, I wish to state categorically that this struggle and campaign which I intend to continue is not about me, it is about the people of St Vincent and the Grenadines. No man is free until all men are free. I have not made one statement on behalf of the New Democratic Party or Sir James; I am an independent individual. read more...

The St Vincent and the Grenadines proposed 2009 Constitution indicates the intent to “promote justice” and “to provide legal aid to indigent accused persons…” It appears though that promoting justice is merely giving legal aid to indigent persons "subjected to capital punishment." read more...

Let me take time to respond to the fallacies in Dr Jerrol Thompson’s letter entitled, “Constituttional reform in St.Vincent a necessity”.

I think the people of St Vincent and the Grenadines would be better suited to answer you, Mr Crozier, I am only the messenger of the people. If the concerns I raised you are hearing them for the first time then I do not know where on the planet you live. At the end of the day it is not about me, it is about the people. read more...

Mr Oscar Ramjeet, the Guyanese-born husband of Mrs Mourine De Freitas-Ramjeet, former official in the opposition NDP when it was in government, have both been engaged in a mischief-making side-show against the new Constitution from their self-imposed exile.

Grenada has been the latest example of the no-nonsense mood of Jack Warner – that he should not be challenged as he attempts to build an army of lieutenants around him.
